No | A very conservative estimate is that, in early August, it will yield g over 62 bushels to the acre. 1 Jim got the seed from his father- in-law William McCriskin who lives up Agincourt way. William got it | last year from the Maple Leaf Mill- | ing company of Toronto. which had, | in turn, obtained a small portion | from Cornell University, where it has been developed. It's got a lot of | growing to do yet but Jim McMor- | row thinks it will stand up to the weather. If it doesn"t--well, it's an | experimental patch, anyway. How- | ever, progressive farmers believe he has something there and some of | the seed is already on order. It is not a registered seed. Estimates last | year "in other similar crops were | that they should go over 60 bushels! to the acre--pernaps a lot over.| Normal wheat yield around here (and this is wonderful farming country) is 40-43 bushels per acre. Advantages of "Cornell 595": heavy yield; suitability for milling.

Let People Express Views On Liquor, Says Citizen / 1 ig letter I |New Israel To Be The following letter to this paper has been received from a well- known citizen expressing his views on establishment of a liquor store here: Whitby, June 11/48. Bditor: Dear £ir: As a citizen of Whi'by for the past 30 years I am wonder- ing whicta way, morally and spirit- ually, we are heading. When I was on the Town Coun- cil in the early twenties there was not one member of the Council that smoked, let alone drank. However, following my appointment to the Board of Bducation my good wife used to complain of the smell of tobacco smoke on my return from board meetings. Before leaving Toronto when hotel bars were licensed I employ- ed in my building operations a num=- ber of all classes of labor and knew that certain of the men did not reac home to their families until their two weeks' wages were spent at the bars, There was always a waiting list on pay nights for the fellows who would spend their earnings that way. T worked hard for prohibition. We finally got it from a good Sopa vative government on a 2/3 Basis. When I came to Whitby there was not an inmate in the jail and Lindsay, where I got my good wife, had not an inmate for one whole year. Toronto was trying to find some other use for their jail--mo inmates. ' However, the Moderation League, under the influence of liquor inter- WORE GUARANTEED Complete check-up.

IT would be interested to know just where this agitation for a lig-. uor store originated. Was it with some member of the Council] or from some one outside the Council? T voted Liberal for 25 years but af- ter Hepbum"s association with E. P. Taylor and his liquor products I voted for the George Drew govern- ment thinking that we might get something better in the y of liquor control, but found by 'reports in the Gilcbe that just be'ore his election he accompanied E. P. Tay- lor to British Columbia which aroused my suspicions, and they were well founded. I say, let the citizens of Whitby have their say in the proper way. PF. L.

One of the oldest and most thor- oughly accepted beliefs of the He- brew people is their belief in the final restoration of the kingdom of Israel and the establishment of the | throne of David at Jerusalem. Christian teachers for ceniuries | have asscciated this event wilh the coming of the Kingdom of God on | earth and the return of Christ as King. : | It is the belief of many that re- cent events in Palestine have a par- | ticular significance in the fulfil-| ment of Biblical prophecy. This | subject of widespread interest will | be the theme of tive minister's mes- sage in the evening service. Special | numbers of music will also be part | of that service.
